How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi

challenging emotional informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

What I most liked about this book was the fact that it broke down the many different ways racism can come about in society, and also provided examples of how the author himself went about combatting these ideas within himself. It makes it seem more possible that an everyday person reading this book can have the same type of awakening.
